Beautifully ensconced in a delicious 2nd set framed by a great Dancin'. On its own this one is pure and lovely. Great Fall '76 show.

Bobby throws a little bit more chaw into this one. It's full of spit and loads of fun. Great first set all around.

A blissful, soaring example of GD ensemble playing. Starts just a bit loose, but by the out chorus it's just amazing.

Remarkable part of one of the rare hour + extended jams, great transitions in and out of it and a heartfelt beauty on its own.

Play this for anyone who thinks '76 is 'too slow'. They are way up on top of this on and Billy and Mickey just open it up and own it.

Thanks darkstar67! I'll check that out. I love how the Tapers Section just keeps on keeping on. I dig the Tobin Matrix for this show too :https://archive.org/details/gd1976-06-10.matrix.tobin.84985.sbeok.flac16/gd76-06-10d2t07.flac

This moves through phases along the way but gets there in style! Hits brilliant experimental patches and flirts at weirdness (never really getting there) when all at once-blam-o! It lands you in... BIG RIVER?!? What a mind-fuck that must have been for the Heads in attendance. Gotta love them for such spontaneity.

Sorry about the multiple posts. My rig ain't working.

Don't let a scuffy AUD scare you away from this pristine Cassidy. Bobby and Donna are in sweet harmony, and the band has that 'hot mellow' perfection: Not rushing, but scorching earth. Jerry swoops and soars, riding thermals behind that Cadillac like an eagle chasing prey.
